Sorry I know this sounds like a dumb question but I assume from what I've read that activating a Tivo allows it to download the EPG. Does activating do anything else? I ask because I wondered what happens if you buy a second hand Tivo. If the Tivo has already been activated by the previous owner what happens when the new owner uses it from a different email address?
If a Home Networking Package is purchased I understand that media can be uploaded to/from the Tivo. My question is can you stream prerecorded media to a computer from it or does the whole program need to be downloaded to the computer first?
Thanks
